steel Lace for Feminine Wear.

The question Of making laces OF iron
and steel for ladies' and children's wear
is again being discussed in art, mill, and
fashion circles. At the Centennial IN
1876 n piece Of steel rolled by Pitts
burgh mill was on exhibition. which was
so thin and light that it weighed much
less than book leaf, and could be blown
from the hand easier than piece OF pa
per of the same size. The iron leaf was
rolled on O train of rolls upon which
heavy tank and boiler iron is now rolled.
Experts say that curtains and other
fine laces can be made of soft malleaole
iron, and in every way be used with
greater satisfaction than cotton laces.
The sheets will necessarily have to be
rolled down to an exceedingly low gauge,
and then pressed into any desirable pat
tern and shape. There will be no trou-
BILE in furnishing iron laces for ladies'
and children's wear, with their names
and other ornaments in n tilagree de-
sign. An introduction of steel lace
would establish in Pittsburgh an indus
try that would give work to at. least
8. 900 men, and consume annually not
less than $4,000 tons Of steel, which Is
now drag in the market at less
than two cents a pound. Steel lace,
unlike cotton, can be made light or
heavy without affecting the grade, color,
or brightness. We may yet see fashion,
able ladies wearing steel shawls and
trimmings for their hats and dresses.

Reform |,

The Wilmington star, in an article on
Reiormers and Independents, says
"In North Carolina the kickers have
been found to be very insincere and un-
trustworthy. They have departed the
faith under the specious plea OF reform,
and have ended by kicking themselves
clean out of the white mans party into
the negro party"
The kickers in Virginia differ III no.
wise from the kickers in North Carolina.
Reform and Independentism here grayi-
tate directly to the Republican, or what
in every southern State is the same
thing, the negro party. A notable ex-
ample of this is furnished by the situa-
ton in Richmond. Hon. JOHN S. WISE
is authority for the statement that the
Reform nominees for the House in this
city CARE PLEDGED TO SUPPORT A RE-
PUBLICAN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR
AND A REPUBLICAN FOR SPEAKER OF THE
HOUSE OF DELEGATES, AND TO SUPPORT
ALL REPUBLICAN MEASURES
Reform through the fundamentally OF
MALONE Republicanism What travesty
and mockeryl What contradiction
Reform by voting to return tothe United
States Senate WILLIAM MALONE, who
antagonized the BLAIR bill and favored
an education bill that would put our
school system under Federal control
Reform by encouraging the little Gene
raj to attempt to turn Virginia over to
the friend Of the force bill and vampire
of sectionalism Reform by advoca-
ting commissioner-of-sales bill and
measures even more ubiquitous II
possible, which would surely be intro
duced into the Legislature should MA
HONE discover that there isany possibility
of passing them! What say our work
ingmen, to whom the Reformers spe-
cially appeal? Will they be party to
any such reform VIII they allow them
selves to be delivered over TO MALONE In
order that he may in turn deliver the
State over to the malignants ? II MI.
WISE S assertion means anythingi 1T means
that that is what the Reform leaders have
bargained to do. Will the intelligent
workingmcn allow these leaders to carry
out their contract? We have faith that
they will not.

MORRISON n. WAITE.
Chief Justice or the Supreme Court
or the United states.

Ii devolved on Chief-Justice Waite to
deny, for the court over which he pre-
sides, the writ OF error sought for in the
cases OF the condemned Anarchists IN
Chicago. =,
Morrison Remick Waite is the seventh
in the line of distinguished jurists who
have held the Chief-Justiceship OF the
United States. He is descended Of Eng
lish ancestry, and the family coat-Of-arms
bears the date OF 1912. In the old state
documents of England will be found the
death warrant of Charles l., signed by
Thomas Wayte, then a member OF Par
lament. The family removed to this
country soon after the restoration. In
the rural town of Lyme, Connecticut,
the old house still stands in which the
subject of this sketch was born on the
Doth of November, 1916.
At the age of seventeen he entered
Yale College, from which he graduated
in 1887. in the class which included Will
liam NJ. Evarts. Edward Pierrepont,
Professor Benjamin SillimaD, and other
distinguished men. He began the study
of law with his father in Lynne. and
concluded his preparation for the bar In
the Office Of Samuel NJ. Young, then
prominent lawyer in Maumee City,
Ohio. He formed a partnership with
Mr.. Young shortly after being admitted
| in 1889, and the year after he took as
his life partner a young lady OF his ma
tive town. He was elected to the Ohio
Legislature in 1849, and the following
wear the firm of Young & Waite removed
to Toledo, O., where they built upa very
large and remuneratiye practice. A
Younger brother OF Mr.. Waite was adj.
mitted to the firm soon afterwards, and
the partnership continued up to his APP
pointment to the position he now occu'
pies. ~
Mr. Waite was Wing until that party
disbanded, when he joined the Republl-
can party. He reluctantly became a
candidate for Congress in 1862, and
later was the nominee of the "Admlnis-
tration Party" but his canyasses were
unsuccessful. Other nominations and

The Late Professor wheeler.

John II. Wheeler the late professor
of Greek in the University OF Virginia,
departed this life ON the 10th Of October,
1857, at the age of thirty-seven. Having
been intimately associated with him at
the university for three years, the writer
may be permitted to pay his tribute to
the lamented dead. The accuracy and
extent of his knowledge were remarkable.
His vast learning was accumulated be-
fore he had reached middle life. He was
not simply a man gorged to repletlon
with facts and figures. His scholarship
had no rattle of dry bones, nor musty
smell about it. He had the true literary
instinct. His vigorous, native good
sense dominated his mind, and Infused
every mental acquisition. 1t never be.
came paralyzed by the enormous mass OF
learning which his splendid talents readi-
ly enabled him to gather. Equally at
home in half dozen languages, he was
an adranccd philologian in every one.
Having exhausted the learning, in his
chosen line Of work, OF the highest edu-
cational institutions in this country and
Europe, he entered upon the active du-
ties Of his profession, the very opposite
OF a pedant.
His method of teaching was to try and
kindle in the hearts of his students the
spark of true love aud appreciation of
the beauties Of literature, to arouse feel
ings OF delight in the soulstirring pro-
ductions OF great writers, and to stimn-
late thought. He neither wished nor at
tempted to drug them with syntax. He
was the ideal scholar
The Greek chair at the university is
one of proud traditions. 1t is sufficient
praise of Professor Wheeler to say that
he carried on with undiminished pres
tige the splendid work of those great
scholarships predecessors-Harrison,
and Price.
His house was ever open to visitors
and to students, and few there were who
did not enjoy his lavish and elegant hos
pitality.
Hard appears to be the decree OF
Providence which has struck down such
a man; though we must submit to it
"He was q man; take him for all in
all, shall not look upon his like again.

they keep the day there under a different

right with their notions. On the other
hand, il an American crosses from east

the day begins, he will find the dates IN
this fresh part Of the world are one

needs strike day out OF his calendar to
keep up with the times. This fact was
curiously illustrated in the case OF Ma
gellan, the Portuguese captain, who
sailed round the world from east to
west in 1922. and, having crossed the
magic line OF "days birth IN his wan
derings, his calendar became. OF course,

pletely ignorant of this, and finding on
landing at home that their Sabbath was
falling on Monday they accused one
another of tampering with the reckon
ing. 1t was not for some time that the
true explanation was discovered.

ham pedrn,s Wife.

Paris letter 10 the London TRUTH
The Emperor and Empress of Brazil
attended a grand SOir6c dansGntc on
Saturday evening at the house of Nine.
de Monterio Barros, whose daughters
marriage they witnessed last August.
The Empress's face improves as she adj
vances in years She used to be plain,
commonplace little woman; but she
has now a really heavenly countenance,
and one might fancy that angels
wings were ready to sprout from her
shoulder blades. Her hair is nearly
snow-white. When l first saw her years
ago it was yellowish streaked with silver.
She wears a cap fastened on with dla'
mond pins, which strike one as fire balls,
and dress with body neither high nor
low. 1t ought to be elegant, bat hardly
looks so, the draperies and festoons Of
rich point lace notwithstanding. She
recognized a number Of old friends, to
whom she beckoncd with her fan to come
and stay near her, and whenever there
was an interval in the theatrical and mu-
steal entertainment prepared for her and
Dom Pedro, she turned round with soft
grace and kindness to chat with them. L
should say that Maria Theresa is not
taller than our Queen. She is not thin.
though not what one could call stout.
But there is shade of asceticism in the
countenance which is picturesque and
makes her interesting. 1t does not arise
from severity toward the ladies OF her
Court and tho sinners OF her capital, but
should say, from the observance Of the
fasts of the church. Notwithstanding
the weight of his tall and ponderous
body, the Emperor looks well, though
he has aged since last here. It's
blessing OF Heaven, he feels, to have
short, active body. when the
inner man is beginning to realize that
he has had enough of physical activity
and wants rest. The Emperor's beard
has whitened almost as much as the
Empresss hair. l suppose there never
was a more complete realization OF the
"John Anderson, My Jo," than this au-
gust pair offers. Yet their match was
certainly not a love one, and IN the
early start the Empress was almost
Jealous of her husbands devotion to
science. He might not, perhaps, have
turned out the scientist and sage that he
is had lie, as youth, come to the Old
World, seen some paragon OF beauty,
fallen in love with her, and carried her
of to Brazil to place the imperial crown
upon her head.

Death of Count de Lesseps's Brother.


Baron Jules de Lesseps. brother Of
Comte Ferdinand de Lesseps, has just
died in his house in the Avenue Mon
taigne, in Paris, He was the youngest OF
three brothers, only one OF whom, the
Oldest, now remains,
Baron Jules was seyonty-eight years
of age, and, although he looked by the
side of his paler brother model OF
almost rudy health, still he was not for
several years past so alert and vigorous
as the Grand Francois. He was every
where in Paris where his brother was to
be seen, but his health OF course did not
allow him to traverse oceans and to AT
front torrid climates with the impunity
which is the lucky appanage OF the ca
nal-cutter, and Baron Jules therefore re.
NAMED at home,
The deceased Baron represented the
Bey of Tunis in Paris until the French
protectorate was established. Comte
Ferdinand do Lesseps, who is nothing il
not Factions, was in the habit OF calling
his bigger but younger brother lie Pctftt,
and he watched over Jules with a solici-
tude paternal and fraternaL
IL was interesting TO see the two to-
gether, the elder patronizing the younger
and the latter looking up 70 his distin-
guished relative with pride, The Grand
Francois was in his country residence at
La Chenaie when he received the news
OF his brothers death.

The Prussian and English Soldier.


The position of the German peasant
soldier may bring with it certain incon-
veniences to which his friends i'll civil
life are not exposed, but for these COM
pensation is made by the respect in
which he is everywhere held and the
privileges which his uniform commands
for him. Now look to what occurs under
similar circumstances in England. What
ever may be the immediate motive of his
enlistment, whether momentary caprice
or some less creditable cause, the act
itself is looked upon in his own circle
as a degradation. We are not, in
deed, quite so unreasoning in this
matter as our fathers were. The boys
parents still, it is believed, regard their
soldier son as lost creature, and for
awhile at least arc ashamed of him when
he comes home on furlough, even If the
breast Of his tunic be adorned with a
medal. But they get no encouragement
IN their delusion row, as was formerly
the case, from those who ought TO have
known better, and learn by degrees
first to submit TO the inevitable, and by
and by perhaps to be proud rather than
otherwise Of their young hero. Whether
the Queens uniform insures for its
wearer creditable associations in his
native place, VIC cannot pretend to
say; but this VIC do know that
elsewhere it operates in q decidedly OPP
posite direction. II is not very long
ago since non-commissioned officer in
the Household Cavalry, who presumed
to enter tho cofiee-room OF Windsor
hotel wearing the uniform OF his regi-
ment. was ordered by the inn-keeper TO
his presence being distssteful
10 the travelling bagmen by whom the
house was chiefly frequented. And
private in the Foot
Guards was told at the door OF the
National Gallery that admission to such
places rs that twas not for the likes Of
le.' We hope and believe that q
change for the better Ia beginning
